Untapped Confidence
Untapped Confidence is a podcast for high-achieving women who want freedom from their BFRB*; they want more authenticity, deeper confidence, to feel powerfully secure in who they are, so they can do more of what they love.
Hosted by Raffaela Marie - speaker, mentor, and creator of the STRENGTH Method - who overcame chronic skin picking, selective mutism, social anxiety, and depression, not by waiting for confidence to appear but by building it with intention from the inside out.
Each episode offers a no-fluff look at healing from body-focused repetitive behaviours through the lens of self-confidence and authenticity. Raffaela blends psychology, neuroscience, and real-world experience to uncover what’s truly driving the urge to pick, and how to find lasting freedom from it.
Listeners walk away with tangible tools they can apply immediately to reduce urges, regulate emotions, and build emotional resilience. Beyond symptom management, this podcast helps you reconnect to your authentic self, feel grounded in your worth, and create lasting freedom from BFRBs*.
If you’re ready to stop performing, start healing, and build confidence that feels real, you’re in the right place.
*BFRB = Body Focused Repetitive Behaviours like chronic skin picking, nail/cheek biting, and hair pulling.

75: Turning Self-Care from a Chore into Something You Crave
If you’ve ever told yourself you’ll “do better with self-care” only to watch it slide the moment life gets stressful, you’re not alone.
Most high-achieving women know self-care is important, yet it often feels like one more task on the never-ending to-do list!
In this episode, I share why that happens, the deeper beliefs behind it, and how to reframe self-care so it feels nourishing instead of draining.
You’ll hear about:
- Why high-achieving women often struggle to prioritize self-care without guilt.
- The hidden connection between productivity, worthiness, and self-neglect.
- A “child self” perspective shift that helps you care for yourself differently.
- Everyday practices that actually ground and recharge you (not just quick fixes).
- Reflection questions to help you define self-care in a way that feels natural and consistent.
